Idioms – Involvement and Interest

Everybody knows the importance of learning some idioms and colloquial expressions, especially when you live in a foreign country. We always learn a lot of them by communicating with native speakers or watching movies and series. In this section, you learn some idioms and expressions to communicate in a more natural way when speaking English in a foreign country.

Here are a few Idioms related to the topic Involvement and Interest:

* Not be your cup of tea – when you are not interested in something or someone (não fazer o seu tipo, não ser do seu interesse)

I like reading, but Shakespeare is not my cup of tea.

* Have an axe to grind – to have a particular attitude towards something (ter um assunto para resolver)

We have an axe to grind, I need to speak to him as soon as possible.

* In the picture – to be involved in a situation someone is talking about (estar à par do assunto)
